CALCULATIONS AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF THE AGGREGATION OF MOLECULES OF LIQUID ACETONE BY SPECTRA OF RAMAN SCATTERING

Experimental studies of the Raman scattering of the band of C = O vibrations of acetone (1710 cm –1 ) showed that the parallel and perpendicular polarized components have a large half-width (respectively, 11.6 and 18 cm –1 ) and also the bands' maxima of these components are shifted by ~5 cm –1 . In the neutral solvent (heptane), the difference of the maxima position of the bands decreases. Calculations showed that the molecules of acetone can aggregate to form a dimer with the energy gain of 10.1 kJ/mole. In the dimer several hydrogen bonds are formed between the oxygen atom of one molecule and the hydrogen atoms of CH 3 -group of another molecule. In an aqueous mixture of acetone, according to calculations, there is a possibility for formation of dimers and closed trimer aggregates with the energy gain, respectively, 19.1 and 45.8 kJ/mole. Calculation showed that symmetric and antisymmetric O–H vibrations of water are displaced in the interaction with acetone to lower frequencies, respectively, to 3808.4 and to 3931.8 –1 .
